• A bride is upset to hear her fiancée’s best friend confess that he has always been in love with her and wishes she were the bride

• Now the bride wants to not invite the groom’s best friend to the wedding in a month’s time

A bride-to-be is upset after her fiancé’s best friend confesses his feelings for her.

Posted by in a post reddit“Am I A——–?” At the forum, the 23-year-old bride announced that she wanted not to invite her fiancée, 28, who is her best friend, 27, to their wedding next month. Even though it was only a short time ago, the bride thinks that it would be inappropriate for her to be there anymore, as she found out that she has always secretly been in love with the groom.

During the bachelorette party, the bride said everyone was drinking too much. The poster eventually needed to use the restroom, but as he approached he “heard noises and whimpering, as if someone was crying.” That’s when she overheard a conversation between the groom’s sister and her best friend.

“He told (her) that it was supposed to be him and that he didn’t understand why she wanted to be with someone like me when the two of them were supposed to be together all the time. He always loved her,” the bride recalled. “I sobered up instantly.”

The groom and his best friend have known each other since childhood and their families are very close, but they have never had a romantic relationship. The bride, who met the groom when she was 19 and started dating him a year later, said her best friend had been nice to her from the beginning and even wanted them to be “best friends.”

“I found it a little odd since she barely knew me, but since she was dating my fiancé’s best friend, I didn’t think much of it,” she wrote. “We didn’t become best friends because I already have a close group of friends and I don’t trust easily, but he always acted cool and never overstepped boundaries.”

The bride never saw a love triangle coming, but now she thinks she might have missed the clues. For example, the friend never fully explained why she broke up with the groom’s best friend six months ago. He also acted strangely after the engagement announcement was made last summer.

“Apart from him, everyone sent us congratulatory compliments,” the bride said in her post. “The next day she sent me a text saying she was happy for him (only to my fiancée, not our friend group chat). He’s been a little cold towards me since then but again I never paid attention, I really have my own friends and life.”

Commenters on Reddit understand why the bride wanted to rescind his invitation to the wedding. However, they suggest that he talk to his fiancee about what he heard.

“Tell him exactly what you heard,” one user commented. “That you don’t have any problems with her or her friendship, but now that you know her feelings are not the same as a friend, be sure to emphasize to her that you need her to set boundaries and that you are not setting boundaries for her. She is comfortable with her being at the wedding even though she wanted to be the bride all this time instead of being a supportive friend.” I feel it.”

“This is definitely a weird and difficult situation,” another person wrote. “I think you should talk to your fiancé about this and go from there. If he can’t be a true friend and support you both, then unless he’s over it or has jealousy issues, he should remove himself from the situation. He’s definitely not someone you want to be distracted by at your wedding.”
